Day 23: G-E-O-M-E-T-R-Y Who Paid Attention in School???

We are getting a porch roof! The bulk of the new addition is under cover and the start of the tie in to the existing house roof line has begun. This is the tricky part, where many angles meet and have to shed water, snow and fall droppage without creating problems. The geometry involved in this is really involved. It is apparent that good carpenters are good in geometry. It is all about being able to see 3 dimensionally and work backwards from the end results. Does your brain hurt yet???

The covering over the porch and shed roofs will be metal, that will go with the roof and siding colors, which we have yet to finalize. It is not like you can repaint it like a room that is just not the right shade of chartruse. Fortunately, the choices for siding are not so large as wall paint!

Here's some more Lake Erie drama as we were getting off the freeway this evening. The clouds were truly leaden all day, but lightened up to end in a swath of color.
